The submission deadline for the SYSTOR ’07 Virtualization Workshop is in 5 days (August 16 – get those papers in!) and the submissions have already started trickling in. This is going to be fun.

Lior Kaplan says he missed me, Orna and others at August Penguin 2007. There were two reasons why I did not bother to come this year, despite having been involved with August Penguin since its inception: first, I am no longer interested in the community events of this particular “community”. Second, there were no technical talks (a complaint I see shared by many). It would’ve been nice to meet old friends, but not worth the effort, aggravation and bad memories.

Paper progress: ASPLOS ’08: submitted. EuroSys ’08: just getting started.

I hate breaking other people’s laptops.

I hate working under pressure.

I hate bugs I can’t reproduce.

But I like fixing them.

Interesting reading on the dangers of corporate research labs.

I’ve been writing LaTeX lately as god^Wknuth intended it, choke full of mathematical goodness. The output is beautiful.
